Manisa, Archaeological site near Manisa, Turkey
The ancient settlement extends across fertile plains at the foot of Mount Sipylus, intersecting with the Gediz River valley system.
The city gained recognition in 190 BC when Roman forces under Lucius Scipio defeated Antiochus III in a decisive battle near its walls.
Ancient remains include a carved rock formation known as Niobe and the Suratlu Tash stone carving depicting the goddess Cybele on Mount Sipylus.
The archaeological zone contains preserved sections of fortification walls from the Empire of Nicea period, accessible through marked pathways.
The region's magnetic stones, which demonstrated attraction and repulsion properties, contributed to the etymology of the term magnet in various languages.
